Because it's been long enough since the racism thing that a lot of people have forgotten. The only reason he's not been at every Wrestlemania is because it would have been impolitic to have him there.

Personal issues aside, the guy was pro wrestling for the better part of 2 decades. I’d rather they kept him away from live appearances, but it’s easy to see why they want him at their biggest show.

But he got a big pop, that’s all he was there to do and that’s fine with me. As long as that’s all he does on screen, I’m fine with him coming out to get a pop.

For the pop and to sell t-shirts, which I'm sure he probably will. Warrior sold a lot of them even before dying, in spite of being a walking septic tank of a human being.

so that I could feel justified in pausing the feed for 10 minutes at the beginning so I could fast forward through stuff I don't like.

As I’ve said it before, if people object to Hogan being on tv due to the racism that’s 100% their prerogative. But, racism aside, if they’re gonna use him, that’s how you do it. Bring him out, get the pop, let him talk for 60-90 seconds, pose, get him out of there. He’s not capable of doing much more then that, so don’t push it. EDIT: Also, some of the stuff that seems pointless to us at home are usually done primarily for the live crowd. Especially at Mania. Concerts are another one, sucks watching at home but part of live crowd digs it and part uses it as an intermission so I get why they used to do them at Mania every year. |

Yeah, like it or don't (and I don't) the man played a huge part in WWE history. I'd prefer they didn't drag him out, but it's wrestlemania and WWE wouldn't be the WWE without Hulk Hogan. |

Imagine if he came out at the end of the show to posedown with Becky.

They even wrote him a funny joke. If they insist on using him, that is how to do it.

I think he was there to reinforce to some of us that the WWE Network is still not worth your hard earned money, no matter how enticing the Kofi vs. Bryan program is. They will reinforce this once more during Saudi Arabia presents WWE Blood Money later this year.

If I went to a WrestleMania even the rumored one in two years in Cali and saw Hogan, I'd mark. It's easy for me to say racist stuff aside but that was over ten years ago. The last time I got to see Hogan was in late 1990. You guys in the lower 48's are spoiled. |

I'm not surprised it always felt like a wait until this blows over thing more then anything else, they even knew to be cautious firstly in Saudia Arabia, then the Mean Gene tribute, which I have my own gripes with.
If I had my own way he would never be on TV again, would say use him as a talking head for documentaries but he spouts so much shit he's not needed

Why...just why? It added nothing. Hogan, Word Life, Lawler, "DAMN", JBL, Booker T, Triple H, Batista, Angle, Flair.... it's the nostalgia tour we call WrestleMania. |

Regular people who don't know/care about celebrities' bullshit real lives talked about it Monday.
That's why.

I for one was happy Hogan was at WM, and I dont care about the opinion of others. |
